Google Earth Images That Tell a Hidden Story

Google Earth allows us to view aerial photos or satellite images from cities around the world, which technically makes it one of the most affordable ways to explore the world without ever leaving the house.

But these images tell a hidden and, in some cases, frightening story that will make anyone wonder what on Earth is going on down there.

Eagle-eyed Google Earth users have documented some mysterious and intriguing satellite images from around the world that need further explanation.

Some of these images are pure art and others are stories that need some clarification…

Potash Evaporation Ponds 

Intrepid Potash is a fertilizer manufacturer based in Denver, Colorado that is also the largest producer of potassium chloride.

To produce their chemical products, they use evaporation ponds, which appear a bright blue color due to the presence of copper sulfate, which is added to the water to speed up evaporation processes.

Coca-Cola Logo

If you squint your eyes, you just might be able to see the famous Coca-Cola logo hidden in the sand. This logo is said to be made up of 70,000 empty coke bottles. The logo was found in the country of Chile, and no one is quite sure who put it there in the first place.

A View of Wild Elephants

There’s also some incredible wildlife to be seen from Google Earth, as this picture of a group of wild elephants shows. This family of animals are running close together to keep safe, and it was photographed by a satellite in the country of Chad.

Unknown Structures in China

This satellite image caused a stir after an ex-CIA analyst told Wired that he found buildings and structures in the desert near Kashgar, which is located in the Xinjiang province in China. These structures were not previously known about by intelligence officials.
